Information on the detection of presence and potential for degradation synthetic polymers (SPs) under various environmental conditions is increasing interest concern to a wide range specialists. At this stage, there need understand relationship between main participants in processes (bio)degradation SPs ecosystems (reservoirs with fresh sea water, soils, etc.), namely themselves, cells microorganisms (MOs) participating their degradation, humic substances (HSs). HSs constitute macrocomponent natural non-living organic matter aquatic soil ecosystems, formed transformed mineralization bio-organic conditions. Analysis mechanisms influence each other effects produced that accelerate or inhibit polymer can create basis scientifically based approaches most effective solution problem SPs, including form microplastics. This review aimed at comparing aspects interactions MOs, laboratory experiments (in vitro) investigations situ) biodegradation polymers, as well pollutants (antibiotics pesticides) they absorb. Comparative calculations velocity different environments are presented. A special place analysis given elemental chemical composition HSs, which successfully involved SPs. In addition, role photo-oxidation photoaging ultraviolet spectrum solar radiation discussed.
